*9.0* Basilica of San Lorenzo: only 6 minutes away! (500 yards on foot)

The room was very spacious and full of light with beautiful paintings of Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Raphael's Cherubs gave the entire room a really boutique and classy feel. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was exquisitely clean. The breakfast had a nice selection available and the staff despite not speaking English was very accommodating to my vegan breakfast requirements and cooked my special oatmeal for me :) Some knowledge of Spanish proved to be very handy indeed. Lovely roof terrace from which we took several pictures, one of which is attached to this review.

location, fantastic view of Duomo at breakfast, fab roof terrace (once you squeeze up the spiral staircase), up above the street level, but noisy on Friday night as main roads on either side.

An inside look at Locanda Dei Guelfi

Locanda dei Guelfi is located in a historic building, belonging to the Medici Family. We are exactly in the Church of St. Barnaba's district, and more precisely in a Palace that in the 1200 century was inhabited by doctors and apothecaries and then became a Convent of Carmelite nuns until 1800.
This important Church and Convent, though ignored by the organized tourism and not well known even by the Florentines, for Institutions remains a listed building, protected by the Fine Arts.

100% verified reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

눉It would be nice if there was a fruit salad option at breakfast or the fruit available was fresher and more variety was provided. If the staff spoke some English I'm sure it would help those non-Italian, non-Spanish speaking guests. The stairs to the hotel are somewhat deadly so keep that in mind if you bring lots of luggage and/or have knee issues as there is no lift.
